it would be good to have a benevolent dictator or committee pick
out the best packages that would be of the most benefit for as

field, to say the least. And I’ll leave it at that before I say
anything I’ll regret :).
It is possible that none of this makes sense for the default
installer used by millions just to get a working Eclipse running on
their desktop.
However, the ability to create, store and share Oomph profiles which
describe the various configurations of language editors, tools, etc.
could be the solution you really want. I think we can all agree that
dramatically reducing the time and effort to install and configure
an Eclipse workbench is a worthy goal. Plus the ability to save an
executable description of that installation for later use, or to
share with your friends and colleagues.
